Hangin' at the Woodshop

This is it!! My first woodshop project. The picture actually doesn't do it justice ( my pictures never do) but it turned out pretty cute. I can't wait to make more. If you've ever thought about wood working, I say, go for it. It's a lot easier than I ever thought it would be. Especially if you're in the military. The military woodshop is priceless...full time expert helper at any hour!




And, just for fun:

I hung with my new friend Chelsea today and found my "shopping style" twin. She truly appreciates my wierd taste and I totally look up to hers. Can we go to New York and London together, Chelsea? So, drum roll please, today's flea market finds:
I love owls!
I saw this on the way out and HAD to go back in and buy it. Lo and behold, the guy just gave it to me for free! You should see the adorably large clip on earrings that he gave Chelsea for free. She bought them to clip on to some ballet flats! Great idea, huh!
I saw this on my last visit, a few months ago, didn't buy it and have been dreaming of it ever since. I just love baskets. Especially exotic looking ones! I thought this one would be a perfect vessel for light sabers...and we have 8!!
I don't have time to straighten out this picture but I need some stylish mommy opinions. I found this adorable satin dress that looks so much like Belles dress from Beauty and the Beast. I'm trying to decide what to do with it. You can see above, that the sleeves are ripped. The zipper in the back doesn't work either but the skirt part is BEAUTIFUL!
Originally, when I bought it (for $6) my plan was to cut the top off and make it into an adorably poofy skirt. But, as I looked at it and thought of Georgie, it occured to me that the skirt version would be more to my liking while she would probably LOVE the dress. What do you think? Skirt or dress, friends? Dress would mean only for play (or halloween), skirt would be an option for any occasion!! Or do you see something entirely different? I'm anxiously awaiting your opinions!
